Sony’s has just announced an up-coming, mysterious PlayStation
meeting, followed by a video that was released on Sony’s official
PlayStation Blog. The video is a vague display of light and sound, and
shows nothing but invites the viewer to “See the future” and displays
the PlayStation symbol and hints at a date at the end of the video, Feb,
20th 2013.
Apparently Sony’s has revealed just enough to stimulate the PlayStation
fan base. This buzz has strategically produced a flurry of comments
under the video. PlayStation enthusiasts are all excited and asking the
same questions. Is PlayStation 4 is finally coming? What’s it going to
be like? And most importantly, when can we play?
Early Development Specs
News of the PS4, also known as PlayStation Orbis,
was first discussed in early 2011. Kotaku was allowed to review the
specifications and designs of the PS4 development kit and will give
anxious games a sneak-peak once the demo is complete. However, the demo
may be slightly different than the finalized version.
The PS4 is also called Orbis. It will apparently allow in-game
sharing; will come with a dual shock 3 shaped controllers, AMD X 64 CPU,
AMD Southern Highlands GPU, 4 GB of GDDR5 RAM with 515 MB reserved of
the OS, and display resolution of up to 4096 X 2160.
Sony will continue to fight against the second-hand game sales and
piracy. Many of the next-generation games will come with a onetime user
code that will let the original purchaser download extra content.
Console and Game Release
The February release date is not set in stone and the buzz on the
internet is that the consoles may not make it to store shelves until
around the end of the year, which is the same time frame that the
next-generation Xbox 720 should be out. The rumors now are that the PS4 Orbis will retail for around $400, but that may increase by the time the game is available for purchase.
